How Can I Disable Autocorrect When I Type

There has to be an easy way to do this. Some sort of setting I'm just overlooking. Any suggestions? This feature is crazy annoying especially for sending messages in languages other than English!
Thanks!

If you teach it you won't keep getting wrong words. Just tap the x when it suggests something wrong, and after a couple of times, it'll not only stop suggesting the wrong words but start suggesting the right ones. It just takes a little while. I know mine hardly ever suggests the wrong words anymore, and often autocompletes a lot of words like friends' names, etc.

How can I disable "search as you type" in Finder windows?

I have used OS X since it first came out and have upgraded to each version since then. I am now on Lion. I have endured "search as you type" for as long as it has been a "feature" and I must say that I am fed up with it, mainly because it slows me down. It makes the computer "get in my way," which is the very anathema Steve Jobs sought to destroy with Apple. My Mac should be a friendly tool that doesn't get in my way. Most of the time it is, but not when it comes to Finder searches.
Toward that end I wish to disable "search as you type" (or whatever the offical name for it is). More specifically, I want to disable it in the search bar in the upper right corner of Finder windows.
I don't care about the Spotlight menu in the menubar, as I never use that and don't want to train myself to use it. And I refuse to use an alternative search utility to Spotlight. I want to use the search field in the upper right corner of Finder windows, AND NOTHING ELSE. But at the same time, I want to kill "search as you type." I want to be able to type as fast or slow as I like and have my computer not search for anything at all until I hit RETURN. I don't want to argue about it. That is the way I want it. And again, I don't want to use a 3rd part utility, no matter how glorious some people may say they are because I stubbornly want to use the search bar atop every Finder window EXCLUSIVELY.
Therefore, is there some Terminal hack to accomplish this feat? If so, what is it?
Many thanks for your time. I look forward to hearing your solutions.

Having posted the initial question more than 1 week ago now, I must say that I am quite shocked and dismayed that not a single experienced individual among us in these forums has the knowledge to even approach my question! Not even a reply to say "it cannot be done"! Forgive me for being brash. But is everyone on vacation? Or does no one know? Or is everyone truly apathetic toward the existing functionality?
If our computers were so lightning fast that "search as you type" was instantaneous (i.e., displayed results a 50ms or so, and faster than I could notice such that my fingers were not slowed down at all as I type), I wouldn't have taken time to write about this. But I put forth the initial question because of the inherent slowness of "search as you type" and therefore I wish to know how one would go about disabling it on an OS level (i.e., without having to resort to a third party app).
I look forward to your insightful replies!
Thank you.

How can i disable imessage from automatically starting up when i turn on macbook air?

how can i disable imessage from automatically starting up when i turn on macbook air? i dont know my imessages to pop up on my laptop when it turns on. But i dont want to disable imessage totally on my macbook.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
First of all, check that Messages is closed when you turn off your MacBook. This is so important because, by default, OS X will reopen all opened apps the next time you start your Mac.
Apart from that, when you go to  > Shut Down, or  > Restart, in the window you see to restart or turn off your MacBook, unmark "Reopen windows when logging back in". This will avoid that your Mac opens all opened apps the next time you start the MacBook, so Messages won't start automatically at startup

How can I disable e-mail and text messages when I'm close to or over my data quota ?

How can I disable e-mail and text messages when I'm close to or over my data quota ?
Is this possible? I don't see any options?
All I see is this:
Receive confirmations of many account transactions via Email and/or free Text Alerts delivered right to your cell phone. You can receive these confirmations for
   transactions done online, over the phone or from your handset. Account management Text Alerts do not count against any Messaging allowances.
      Your bill is ready for review.
     Payment Confirmations: Your payment has been received    Your credit/adjustment     has been applied.1
     Account Activity Confirmations     Plan changes     Feature changes1

What phone?
You would need to disable data on the phone itself. You wouldn't do it online on your account.
Note also that text messages do not count toward your data allowance.

How can I disable the Photos app from automatically running when I plug in my iPhone?

How can I disable the Photos app from automatically running when I plug in my iPhone?
I have no intention of ever using Photos, in fact, having to abandon Aperture takes me one step close to moving back to Windows, but I digress.
I just want to NOT have to kill the Photos app every time I plug in my phone.
Thanks.

I am still seeing the option Image Capture, like shown in the screenshot that Rysz posted. But it is another example of the hide-and-seek Apple likes to play with us.
The option has to be set for each device individually. With the device connected to USB, you have to click the tiny disclosure triangle in the lower left corner of the sidebar to reveal the option.
I was perfectly happy with the program I paid for (Aperture), and now to maintain the functionality I have to pay for another application (LightRoom) to get the functionality that I paid for in Aperture.
Aperture 3.6 is working well with Yosemite. I will use it, as long as I have a Mac, that will run Yosemite or a compatible system.
Have you looked at Capture One? It looks much more similar to Aperture than Lightroom.

Why does firefox zoom in when I open a new tab? How can I disable this?

Every time I right click on a link and select "Open link in a new tab" firefox zooms in. This happens also when I hold ctrl and click on a link. I know I can just zoom back out using ctrl - but this gets really annoying sometimes. How can I disable this?

Photoshop doesn't do a "memory test".
When Photoshop says "measuring memory" during startup, it is asking the OS how much RAM is available and what hard disks are available for scratch disks.
If you have network volumes mounted that are unavailable, then the OS may take a while to time out on accessing those drives.
The same goes if you have a bad USB drive connected.

How can I disable the event sound played when a new window is opened?

When Firefox starts, or when a new window is opened there is an annoying click.
How can I disable this?
The only way I have been able to stop it is by disabling all event sounds from the control panel but I'd rather just disable this particular sound.

No, it's Windows XP. Hmmm, I don't know! I only started noticing it recently and as far as I remember, the only new add on is NoScript. I found the event that was being triggered (Start Connection) and disabled the sound in Windows. So the problem is solved in that I don't have the annoying sound ... but don't know why it started and hope nothing sinister is going on.

When i search for mp3 files spotlight shows id3 tags instead of filenames as it used to do !!! I DONT want that .. how can i disable it !!!!!???????

when i search for mp3 files spotlight shows id3 tags instead of filenames as it used to do !!! I DONT want that .. how can i disable it !!!!!???????

Sorry, my handful of mp3's had the file name as the id3 tag name.
So, I am seeing the same thing as you.
Oddly, a while back I was trying to help someone out in Mountain Lion that wanted to see the id3 tags in the Finder.
It's all a bit silly. They should have added columns instead or changing it to tag song name.
They are transitioning to having everything reflect the content and not the file system, so this may not be reversible.
The best I think you can do is provide feedback: http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

How can we disable info area when we're opening query ??

Dear All,
It's regarding authorization in query designer.
I've already created roles .. So if user's opening the query, they can see their authorized query in roles group.
But ..
When they're opening the query, they also can search the query by info-area. When they search the query by info-area, they can see all query.
My question is:
1. How can we disable the feature to seek the report by info-area ??
2. Do you know what the authorization is for maintaining part ??
Regards,
Niel.

Hi Niel
You can try the S_RS_FOLD authorization object.
Definition
With this authorization object, you can deactivate the general view of the 'InfoArea' folder. Then only the favorites and roles appear in the BEx open dialog for queries. The view of the InfoAreas is hidden.
Defined fields
The object contains a field:
SUP_FOLDER: Hide the file view if the field is set to 'True' ('X'). If both 'True' and 'False' is selected ('All Values'), the value 'False' is valid, meaning that the 'InfoAreas' file is not hidden.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Gaurav

How can I disable the change of color when changing background in ios7?

how can I disable the change of color when changing background in ios7?

For txt messages you can change the option of whether previews are shown (Settings >> Messages >> Show Preview Toggle). Switching this "Off" will still show a notification of a missed txt message, but it will not show text from the message itself.
Unfortunately, similar functionality does not currently exist for phone calls; however, the new iOS release (scheduled for September, I think rumor has it) will revamp the way notifications are handled, and there maybe an elegant solution for you then.

How can I DISABLE the pop up 'Would you like to copy it to Library', preventing this message from bothering for each and every book, again and again, time after time? (Windows 7 64bit US).

How can I DISABLE the pop up 'Would you like to copy it to Library', preventing this message from bothering for each and every book, again and again , time after time? (Windows 7 64bit US).
I guess this may be a feature request. Adobe may think this is a good message for every new eBook.
I sure would like to decide about that myself.
Thanks in advance if this will be changed.

Decided to setup the mail for exchange on my N8 so I could see my work emails. Worked like a charm but after a couple of hours decided I didn't like being that contactable so deleted the mailbox.
Now to the problem, during setup I was forced to enable the phone lock and had to pick a 7 digit alphanumeric code. Fair enough I thought and went ahead. When I removed the mailbox however the lock remained in place with the default auto time of 30 minutes. When I checked in Phone management there is no option to disable this lock so I thought I could at least change the default time to something bigger but when you try, it remains at 30 mins. You also can't disable the auto time as it pops up an error message saying can't unlock phone.
Does anyone know if I'm missing something obvious here or is this something which can't be disabled once it's switched on? I've done a soft reset back to factory settings with no luck and the only other thing I can think of is re installing the firmware which seems a bit extreme.
Would like to hope there is some way to have control over this. Can someone help?
Which firmware your N8 having now? You can check firmware by choosing Call, then type *#0000#.
My N8 works fine on security setting and able to define Phone auto lock period, by choosing Menu>Settings>Phone>Phone management>Security settings>Phone and SIM card>Phone auto lock period>User defined>Lock after(minutes)
You will prompt to enter Lock code each time u define auto lock priod or enable/disable auto lock.
Hope this can help you.
